We are reminded about its sad obliteration from the face of the earth  and our attempts to resurrect the species via DNA .

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s start with The Principles and Practice of Medicine by Sir Stanley Davidson. 1968 edition. I did read it in my 4th year of medical school, in 1969. What did it say about coeliac (spelt celiac in North America) disease? On page 941: &#8220;In coeliac disease of children and its counterpart in adults, malabsorption is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Social media is agog with warnings about germs. Nothing new. Movies from Nosferatu (1922) to Contagion (2011) prey on human loathing and disgust of microbes. OK, there are important nasty strains, pandemic flu, resistant Staph, but here we are talking about a surge in paranoia about everyday exposure to germs. Witness the fetish for using [...]]]></description>
